Progressives are blaming everyone but Obama

I'm really getting tired of the Obama apologists blaming everybody but Obama for his miserable tenure. This man came into office with a mandate. He was even awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. And he blew it.

His ego was so large that he ignored the threat of Mitch McConnell who stated that his whole aim in the next four years was to make Obama a one-term president.

Granted he wasn't the president that we were blinded to think we were getting, but we didn't expect his complete turnaround. He flip-flopped on every position he promised us. He was going to get us out of Iraq. Yet now we have the largest Embassy ever in Baghdad. He sold out to the pharmaceutical companies when it came to health care. (If it wasn't for Nancy Pelosi we wouldn't even have what we've gotten.) He ignored Scott Brown and lost Ted Kennedy's seat in Democratic Massachusetts. That cost him his filibuster-proof Senate.

His only luck? GOP choices were so inept, he won in spite of himself.
